GRAIN

Each piece of hardwood carries warmth and provides drama with the uniquenss of it’s grain.

SHINE

Metalic elements stand out. That’s why we gild many of our pieces and add unique industrial bits such as copper and brass.

TACTILE

Woven cord and leather placed inline with or in liu of chain bring a softness and contrast in our designs.

BEHIND THE BRAND

Makerware was initially inspired by our work as professional display artists with our company DUOFAB – making custom visual elements for commercial companies and high-end residential spaces. Our work with DUOFAB incorporates many inherently beautiful raw materials and this became an inspiration for a product line, Makerware. Our Makerware line is a collection of wearable items and home products (coming soon!) inspired by the artful raw materials from our installations, reinvisioned as retail products.

“The Makerware aesthetic revolves around minimalism + geometry. My ultimate goal with our wearable items is to challenge the standard look of jewelry design and materials used. My designs focus on unconventinal materials + processes to create a uniquely balanced line of jewelry. I love to use soft tactile cording in place of simple chains and dramatic hardwoods to juxtapose earthiness with shiny industrial metals. These combinations is what makes designing exciting!”
